    The Brentford Triangle: Brentford Trilogy, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min
    Omally groaned. "It is the end of mankind as we know it. I should never have got up so early today," and all over Brentford electrical appliances were beginning to fail.... Could it be that Pooley and Omally, whilst engaged on a round of allotment golf, mistook laser-operated gravitational landing beams for the malignant work of Brentford Council? Does the Captain Laser Alien Attack machine in the bar of the Swan possess more sinister force than its magnetic appeal for youths with green hair? Is Brentford the first base in an alien onslaught on planet Earth? Robert Rankin describes himself as a teller of tall tales. The Morning Star describes him as 'The Master of Silliness', and his publisher describes him as 'The Master of Far Fetched Fiction'. He is the author of more than 30 novels, of which he has sold millions of copies, and he makes people laugh around the world. Robert loves going on tour, signing books for fans, and his appearances at signings and conventions are legendary, often including a stand-up routine, a song (accompanied by his 'air-ukulele'), and an always-entertaining question-and-answer session. ungekürzt.

    The audiobook that more than 12 million YouTube subscribers have been waiting for! Shane Dawson's memoir features 20 original essays - uncensored yet surprisingly sweet. Shane Dawson has always been an open book. From his first YouTube vlog back in 2008 to his feature film debut Not Cool to a cover story in Variety magazine, Shane has documented his life pre-tty thoroughly. We've seen awkward and adorable Q&As with his mom, weight-loss center drama, love life details, and the all-important haircut reveal. We've seen his hilarious spoofs of Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, and Sarah Palin. His music videos are awesome. But in his upcoming memoir, fans will finally get a chance to see the real Shane through personal stories that are at once humorous and heartwarming, self-deprecating and totally inspiring. Highlighting key moments of his childhood and adolescence, through his phenomenal success on YouTube, and continuing on to his more recent experiences as an actor and director, Shane's memoir will feature the silliness and satire his fans already enjoy, but it will be even more in depth, more real, and more portable. ungekürzt.

    Snappy Sassy Salty: Wise Words for Authors and Writers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
    Authoring and writing can be a lonely number.... Could you use a pick-me-up? A bit of inspiration or silliness? How about something to chew on or get you unstuck? In Snappy Sassy Salty: Wise Words for Authors and Writers, you will find all that and more. Do you love original quotations that get to the nitty-gritty and, at the same time, can touch your heart and soul? Author Judith Briles' favorite advice over the years to her many author clients is included: think and write snappy, sassy, and salty, and surround yourself with cheerleaders for your vision, not distractors. For the first time, she reveals publicly how a well-known author, columnist, humorist, and screenwriter had dinner with her, listened intently, then used her ideas in one of his columns - a column that he got paid for; she didn't. The cosmic goose had landed. Judith told herself that if she didn't start taking some of her own ideas and publishing them, others would. Her first book, The Woman's Guide to Financial Savvy, was published by St. Martin's Press a year later. She's on number 34 now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Judith Briles.

    American Notes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
    In 1842, Charles Dickens visited America. His reception was somewhat colder than that which usually greeted him - already a successful author in both Britain and the United States. This lack of enthusiasm from the Americans was partly due to his criticism of the pirating of English books in that country and partly due to his outspoken distaste for the custom of slavery in the Southern states. He wrote in the preface to American Notes, 'Prejudiced I am not, and never have been, otherwise than in favour of the United States. I have many friends in America. I feel a grateful interest in the country. I hope and believe it will successfully work out a problem of the highest importance in the whole human race. To represent me as viewing America with ill nature, coldness or animosity is merely to do a very foolish thing, which is always a very easy one!' Despite this placatory tone, one American reviewer spoke thus of American Notes: 'The most trashy...the most contemptible...the essence of balderdash, reduced to the last drop of silliness and inanity'. Listen to the journals and judge for yourself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Joyce. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/assm/000057/bk_assm_000057_sample.mp3.

    I'm Just a Person: My Year of Death, Cancer and Epiphany , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
    In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words, 'Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer.' The set instantly went viral and was ultimately released as Tig's sophomore album, Live, which sold 100,000 units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy. Now the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year - a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the openhearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I'm Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman's journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it. ungekürzt.

    Dead Ringers Series 13 & 14: Seven episodes of the BBC Radio 4 comedy series, Hörbuch, Digital, 194min
    Seven sparkling episodes from the award-winning BBC Radio 4 impressions show - including the General Election 2015 edition. The topical impressions show returns with two more series, featuring the Boxing Day 2014 episode, a Review of 2014 edition and five further episodes from 2015: including the astonishingly bang up to date General Election edition written within hours of the final result and broadcast the morning after. In these seven episodes, the Dead Ringers team give Crimewatch and Embarrassing Bodies some extra festive cheer; take a sneak peek at the things that will definitely happen in 2015 (how will the UKIP/Labour coalition fare?); and focus on the build-up to one of the most important votes for decades - will Austria win again, or does Britain's Electro Velvet stand a chance? Plus, Mel and Sue give their double entendres a good old squeeze in The Great British Innuendo; Nick Clegg talks exclusively to ITV News about being held hostage by the government for five years; and Ed Miliband signs off with the song 'Every Time We Lost a Seat'. Satire meets silliness in the flagship comedy for hardworking families up and down the country, starring accomplished impressionists Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Duncan Wisbey, Lewis MacLeod and Debra Stevenson.

    Napalm and Silly Putty, Hörbuch, Digital, 148min
    He was the inventor of Past-Tense TV (featuring Got Smart, Father Knew Best, and It Was Left to Beaver); the tireless crusader for such charities as the Center for Research into the Heebie Jeebies, Children of Parents with Bad Teeth, and the State Hospital for Those Who Felt All Right About a Year Ago; founder of the George Carlin Book Club (top titles: How to Act Laid-Back During a Grease Fire, Fill Your Life with Croutons, and The Meaning of Corn); and the only social commentator with the guts to point out that "the day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life." Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation. George wouldn't have it any other way. Language: English. Narrator: George Carlin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/high/000603/bk_high_000603_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
